EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 17th-century print of a quaint C17 London home nestled in the heart of the historic Little Sanctuary district, located in Thieving Lane. This charming residence, with its intricately designed facade, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of Londoners during this era. The ground floor of the building is occupied by an ironmonger's shop, a common business during this time, yet the warm glow emanating from the windows suggests the comfort and tranquility of a family dwelling. The intricate brickwork and ornate details of the building's exterior are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The use of red and white bricks, popular during the 17th century, adds a striking contrast and visual appeal. The print also showcases the narrow, winding streets typical of London during this period, further emphasizing the unique character and charm of the city. Little Sanctuary, also known as Thieving Lane, was a notorious area of London known for its criminal activity. However, this print offers a glimpse into the more domestic side of life in this part of the city. The peaceful scene of a family home, with its ironmonger's shop on the ground floor, provides a fascinating contrast to the area's unsavory reputation. This historical print is a valuable record of London's rich architectural and social history. It invites us to imagine the daily lives of the people who once called this beautiful home their own, and to appreciate the enduring charm and character of this remarkable city.
